W YORK, Nov. 17.—Bradstreet's financial review to-morrow will say: | week has hinged almost entirely on the money market and the developments connected with it. Last Saturday’s unexpectedly bad bank state- | ment, showing that the New York Clearing- house institutions were about $2,700,000 below the legal reserve limit, created an unfavorable impression about the probable course of prices at the opening of the week. the expected selling movement the market frdm Monday onward developed support of an ex- cellent quality, while at the same time large supplies of funds came into the call loan mar- While rates touched 10612 per cent these were the extremes and the bulk of the bor- rowing at the Stock Exchange level than for a fortnight or so. were loaned at § per cent or less and the money was offered In such & way as to indicate that the intention was to ease the market. eral impression, furthermore, was a close connection between the appear- ance of these supplies of money and the break of exchange rates el it was understood that certain institutions had Thoney Gerived rom ‘the sale of lle e the money de: 'rom e of 1 loan market. i Speculation this Or Short L és. 9% do con Is..

Prices therefore advanced throughout the list, though one of the features of the week was the extent to which activity seemed to be confined to lower-priced stocks, like some of the Pacific group. At the same time the higher-priced railroad stocks were ot totally neglected, conslderable strength de- oping In that quarter.

O et S e NEW YORK, Nev. 17.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: General trade and industry continue at a maximum volume for this season of the year, while prices, as a whole, manifest a strength unapproached in recent years. Strength of values Is still most notable among manufac- tured textiles, but cereals, hidées and leather and manufacturers thereof have also strength- ened slightly. On the other hand pork, pro- ducts and tin are slightly lower. Tho' great majority of prices, however, remain firm at unchanged quotations, An active consumptive demand for wool {s reported at leading mar- | kets, accompanied by a fair export demand and 8 further reduction in stocks. s do not his e 44 0t manifest any striking chaugs ket s apparently greater, more moderate re- celpts of wheat at the West inducing some covering, and corn {s sympathetically stronger. Another feature naturally attracting attention at this time of the year is the mctive demand for coal, but generally reported small stocks of coal available, both East and West. South.” Some shading in provision prices is noted, largely as a result of heavy receipts of hog: ugar is in rather slow demand, not- withstanding reiterated reports of the settle- ment of the war among refiners. The market for fron and steel is rather quiet at the East, but a heavy demand both for £xport business has been reported checked, it | 18 Interesting to record a very heavy order for steel rods for export placed this week. Re- ports are also that a large forelgn contract for Talls has been secured. Some shading in prices of plates and steel billets is reported, but bessemer pigiron is higher. In other metals a feature has been a decline in tin, both at home and abroad (partly recovered later, however), while copper remains unchanged. In hardware a further decline in builders’ grades is reported, but already some orders for nex ring’'s de- livery are being placed.
